Their teacher will say, "Yes, it was against the law back then. But those were different times, before people valued freedom." They'll look at the 20th century the same way we look at the 19th.
Oh I hope so, I really do. I'm afraid that it's equally likely that the world will go the other way. the future will be less tollerant and free then afganistan under the taliban.
To take (the property of another) without right or permission.
take: 1. To get into one's possession by force, skill, or artifice, especially:
1. To capture physically; seize: take an enemy fortress.
2. To seize with authority; confiscate.
3. To kill, snare, or trap (fish or game, for example).
You arent getting anything into your possession. You are rearranging things (electrons) that are in your possesion, but nothing changes ownership.
No its copyright infringment, it's legally and (potentially - depending on the exact form. Copying a cd after you lose yours isnt wrong) morally wrong. It's not theft. Get a dictionary.
No, I dont steal music. I may copy music while unauthorised to do so, however stealing music involves walking into virgin megastores and picking up a cd, then walking out.
At no point during copying a cd/taping the radio/downloading an mp3 are you removing anything from anyone.
Or (are you ready for this?) Maybe... just maybe.... he really does think illegally distributing software is theft (and wrong).
No. It's copyright infringment. It's illegal. It may even be wrong.
It is NOT theft. Theft is:
(
Websters)1. (Law) The act of stealing; specifically, the felonious taking and removing of personal property, with an intent to deprive the rightful owner of the same; larceny."
Note: To constitute theft there must be a taking without the owner's consent, and it must be unlawful or felonious; every part of the property stolen must be removed, however slightly, from its former position; and it must be, at least momentarily, in the complete possession of the thief.
Futurama was great, better then the simpsons at any point, ever. Family guy is right up there with futurama, but completely different. The two are perfect compliments for a wednesda night filmfest.
Such language! Where I come from we don't use words like "Britney Spears" in polite company, young man.
Suddenly I'm reminded of south park the movie. cock, shit, fuck and cunt were just the warm ups, the only way Cartman saved the world and killed saddam hussein was with the ultimate of ultimate words
First question, do you speak (and write) jappanese?
I'm looking to do something fun after graduation, and skipping the UK, but I barely speak more then holiday french/german/greek, so I'm guessing I'm limited to Ireland, the U.S, Austrailia, New Zealand
It was written in english back in the 16th or 17th century. In fact, the bible being available in english in a progressive country like england led to standardisation of the language, and skyrocketed england ahead of the rest of europe by decades in culture and science.
KCL, UK ban linux, stating You may not run any Unix operating system since they can represent a serious risk to network integrity. Any student found running a Unix system (e.g. Linux) connected to the College network will have that system disconnected.
I tried emailing them a corrected version, but their email address was down - so much for network integrity.
"You are encouraged to run a Unix based operating system since they dont suffer serious risks to network integrity like Nimda, Code Red and Outlook Worms. Any student found running any insecure system (e.g. most windows boxes) connected to the College network will have that system disconnected."
Lets assume that you've grown tired of yet another 3D shoot-em-up. Why do you need such ridiculous ammounts of graphics memory? At 128MB of ram you can have a normal workspace screen with 44,739,242 pixels, or a resolution of arround 7680*5760 at 24bit color. Thats like a 130 inch screen at average dpi.
I'm much more interested in why I cant pick up cheap ($20) 2 head or 4 head video cards, or ones with decent video out at the same time as VGA out.

Slavery was banned in the 19th century, smash your keyboards now and free those little things!
unfortunatly my first post was routed through this satelite, and got stranded inbetween the tv and 802.11b antennas
what's not to like about cutting compile times by 50%?
Increasing drive costs by 500% (or more)

Simpsons? Pah.

How could an amateur rocket fail?
Maybe they confused feet and metres?
(4PI^2)*(3PI^2 -2)??
However, if I do all I can to be healthy (i.e., not eating junkfood while laying on my couch all day)
I stopped that lifestyle a long time ago, I now sit in my nice comfy armchair while eating junk food, much healthier!
What qualifications do you need to be an editor, anyway?
Mouse, hand, arse to scratch, bannana to eat.
Perhaps they should employ google's news-bots.
(which, based on the way government works, I'm sure is easy to get.)
Then theres no problem is there.
